Are you using LDAP passwords? If so, then you will need to run nscd. The problem is in LDAP, not rpm, but affects statically linked programs like /bin/rpm. Running nscd works around a linkage loop problem with LDAP deep in pam modules. Reopen this bug if the above was not the problem. I am not using LDAP. OK. This isn't an rpm problem however, but something in user authentication modules. Off to PAM for a 2nd opinion ... Does turning nscd on cause this to stop happening? Hmm, Trying to reproduce the error for testing on two systems that had these symptoms before, but I no longer can reproduce the bug on systems with pam-0.75-14 or pam-0.75-19, even without running nscd. Guess something, somewhere, got fixed for this. |
